Matthew McConaughey is afraid of heights, Elizabeth Banks fears drowning, and Bear Grylls is a menace. There are no prizes for guessing what ordeals the Hollywood actors are subjected to in "Bear Grylls Is Running Wild" season 9, the latest guise of the adventurer's reality show.

Here's how you can watch "Bear Grylls Is Running Wild" season 9 from anywhere with a VPN.

While you may come for the shadenfreude and sheer fish-out-of-water hilarity the premise delivers — cosseted celebrities roughing it in nature and being forced out of their comfort zones — you'll stay for the epiphanies, and 48 hours is usually more than enough time to break them.

Take MGK (the artist prevously known as Machine Gun Kelly), who confesses that the money, the fame and the global adulation haven't filled the void that led him to seek megastardom in the first place. Whether a little time on a Norwegian glacier inspires McConaughey to reflect on his newfound lust for AI, a resource that's having a devastating impact on the environment, to replace vast swathes of the creative industries remains to be seen.

Uma Thurman, "Euphoria" season 3's Colman Domingo and "The White Lotus" season 3's Michelle Monaghan are also amongst the participants (scroll down for the full list).
